Sample Event
Windows 2000 message text:
WINS will not start because the existing WINS database needs to be converted to the Windows 2000 format. WINS has initiated this conversion using a process called JETCONV. Once the conversion is successfully completed, WINS will be restarted. The conversion will take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on the size of the databases to be converted.

NOTE: Rebooting or ending the JETCONV process before it is completed could corrupt your databases. Check the Application Log in the Event Viewer for the status of JETCONV.

Windows NT 4.0 message text:
WINS can not come up because the existent database needs conversion to NT SUR format. WINS has initiated the conversion via a process (jetconv). Once the conversion is complete, WINS will get started automatically. Do not reboot or kill the jetconv process. The conversion may take anywhere from a few minutes to around an hour (depending on the size of the databases). Please terminate WINS now by clicking on OK. This is required for the database conversion to succeed.

NOTE: THE WINS SERVICE WILL START AUTOMATICALLY AFTER THE CONVERSION IS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. CHECK THE APPLICATION LOG TO SEE THE STATUS OF THE CONVERSION FOR WINS DB.
